Can you add utility transfer fees to the basis of your home? A relocation was not involved in this move.

No.  Increases to the basis of your home include:

  • additions/improvements that have a useful life of over a year;
  • special assessment for local improvements (ex. sidewalk)
  • Amounts spent after a casualty to restore damage
  • Sales tax on purchase (unless deducted as an itemized deduction)
